FYI, some of the sites on there that bill themselves (or have billed themselves) as "public domain" actually use proprietary licenses that are not compatible with public domain declarations. I find it very frustrating that "public domain photos" turns up unsplash, pexels, pixabay and a bunch of other sites that have licenses with terms like, "cannot be used to make the model look bad" and "cannot be used to create a competitor to our site".

For many use cases, these licenses are perfectly fine, but they aren't compatible with actual CC-0 declarations (or even CC-BY), so if you are trying to create permissively licensed derivatives, you must avoid them. It may be worth marking those ones with an asterisk or something to avoid misunderstandings.

yeah i hear you. not something i have bandwidth to track right now, but i would accept a PR to add disclaimers (could turn the whole thing into a table form).

i agree your concern is impt, its just not the level at which i operate this list right now

Thanks! Bookmarked.

Also, I just read https://www.swyx.io/time-management-randy-pausch/ which was fantastic. Looking fwd to more of your excellent writing.

thank you!

Awesome! I like your site as well, but the brightly-colored border makes me think that my screen is being shared (thanks to Zoom, Teams, and Meet).
